Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Sunday turned out to be a lovely day.
Sunny, warm and I spent around 5 hours on the cab.
Hard to believe when you look back at the progress.
But I was still trying to figure out what I needed to do to remove the various finishes to the firewall.

Mate John came around with his kids for a while too…… letting them blow off steam in the garden.
These distractions are actually great because they tend to break the monotony of the jobs at hand.
So in a fit of creativity, I fetched some woodwork scourers and used petrol from the lawnmower can to address the black paint. That worked, albeit slowly.
Next brainfart saw me grab an empty spray bottle and fill it with fuel, so I could spray onto the work surface constantly because the fuel dribbles out of the scourer faster than I could use it.
A job where you just keep gping over and over.
I didn’t want to scar the metal before painting.
I closed shop as having John over was a perfect excuse by 4.00pm
It was a good day.
